EDITORIAL HENTION. The total number of delegates in the Republican convention at, Ch icago will be 299,—-two of them from the island of Porto Kico. Queen Liliuokalani is in St. liouis as a guest, but she has to move around with considerable celerity to avoid being classed by the managers as an exhibit. The Republican party is rich enough in men who are lit to be President not to I>e obliged Jto force fchrt nomination for Vice-President on a man who does not want it. Whatever may be said of Colonel Bryan, it cannot be'deniedjthat he is a lingual artist. still some of the ,'time and he 'always puts in his talk where it willjdo the most damage. The Oriental war is comparative ly harmless, after all. In the three land battles already reported, there have been fewer men killed on both sides than suffered violent deaths in Chicagojlastjmonth—266, There is efferve scence at Republican conventions this year, and the turbulence of a gathering is sometimes sufficient to tempt the Democratic press to name it a riot. Of course it is only the vivacity which indicates an interest in the cause. "The agitation of thought is the begin ning of wisdom." Those who make pilgrimages to Esopus declare that Judge Parker is a delightful conversationalist. He has learned the art from Madame de Siacsl who became re nowned for her eloquence by keep ing still an 11 jfcting her guests do the talking. Tiie Dam icratic National plat form will probably declare that the Philippine Islands ought to be free and to bo endowed with sef-govern mcnt ultimately. Will Governor Bout well or Colonel Brvan or Gamaliel Bradford or General Miles tell us what ••Ultimately" means? There is no truth in the insinua tion which has been made that Mr. Ware, the Commissioner of Pen sions is anxious to resign his posi tion on account of the extra work and criticisms as a result of the celebrated Executive order number 78, granting pensions to Civil War soldiers over 02 years of age. It has long been known that the Com missioner never wanted the posi tion; that he consented to take it only to oblige the President who threatened to "draft" him if he declined to "volunteer." Mr. Ware is well satisfied with the manner in which the office has been conducted under the adminis tration, but he is nevertheless anx ious to get back to his paper and law practice in Kansas.

Is it to appear after all that the an cients were right in attaching an ill meaning to everything that is on the left? The word "sinister" which is so suggestive of what is inauspicious,dark and malign, meaus literally "left hand ed." Is there any scientific justification for this derived meaning of "sinister"? It would seem so if we may accept the results of an investigation by Dr. Austin Flint, an authority of high dis tinction. According to Dr. Flint the normal man is right-handed. In other words, left-handedness is an abnormal or defective condition. This appears from the fact that among the criminal and morally defective class, the pro portion of left handed people is con siderably larger than is the proportion among people generally. The general proportion is four left handed and two ambidextrous persons out of every hundred. Among criminals, nineteen out of every hundred are left handed. It has also been calculated that among left-handed persons 31.6 per cent, are to be classed as criminals. Why this is so it is not so easy to ex plain. It is a known fact that the left lobe of the brain, which controls the movements of the right side of the body, is slightly larger than the right lobe, which controls the move ments of the left side. But why should nature show a preference for the left lobe of the brain? Perhaps the position of the heart,which lies slightly to the left of the medial line of the body, may have something to do with the matter. The possibility of muscu lar action and development would be slightly greater on the right side than on the left. The greater use of the right side of the body would explain the greater development of the left lobe of the brain. But then an objec tor may say that the positiou of the heart, instead of being the cause of right-handedness, is caused by it. But whatever may be the explana tion of right-handedness the fact re mains that left-handedness is an abnor mal condition, and that left-handed ness in children should be watched and counteracted as far as possible. The Nation's Right- Arm. Scientists are telling us—what in deed we knew before—that the normal man is right handed. Man would in deed be badly off if he were without his left hand; but, having both a right and left hand, it is upon the former that he will depend for strong, aggres sive and effective action. The func tion of the left hand is chiefly to guard and conserve. Its greatest positive skill lies in playing a secondary and subordinate part to the right hand. Sometimes the normal man tries to use his left hand as though it were his right hand, but the result is always awkward. When the left hand under takes to use hammer or saw, or weild the sword or pen, lookout for trouble. The nation, like the individual, has its right and left arms, These are re spectively the Republican and Demo cratic parties. The Democratic party is the nation's left arm. Its underlying principles are negative and conservative. Its emphasis is upon the limitations rather than upon the powers of the govern ment. It is in its native element when it is proclaiming what ought not to be done When it is placed in a po sition of ptnver and responsibility and is expected to carry out a positive pro gram, it is out of its element imme diately. The watchword of the Demo cratic party is liberty. Government must not be allowed to trammel the inherent freedom of the individual. Liherty means the fullest opportunity for the realization of human well-be ing. The Democratic theory is that the end of government is simply to se cure to the individual an opportunity to enter freely whatever field of possi bility nature may have opened up. This right having been secured, it is to individual enterprise and energy alone ! that we are to look for the successful ! pursuit ot happiness and progress. This theory has never satisfied the I nation. According to another way of j thinking, the end of government is not ! merely to take the halter from off the j individual and to tell him to make him | self at home in all outdoors. Govern : ment has something positive to do in ! the way of creating conditions and in ' opening up opportunities, and in gen j eral concerning itself in a positive and constructive way with pursuit of hu man progress. In other words, the government has need of a positive right hand, and not merely of a negative lefc hand. There may be times of a profound quietness and in action when the nation can afford to carry iti right hand in its pocket, and to let the left hand swing the cane or carry the umbrella, but such times will come but seldom in the history of an aggressive and enterprising people. Certainly at the present time the na tion is out for business, and it will see to it that the right arm of the govern ment shall continne to be entrusted with its administration. Warning.

Emporium, Pa., August Ist, 1903. 24-tf. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1904. The "Mother of Tru«ts." [Philadelphia Inquirer.] Our Democratic friends, hunt- . ing for an issue, have declared in ! most positive terms that "protect- j ion is the mother of trusts.'' They would get at the trusts by ruthless- j ly smashing the tariff schedules. | Of course, if you smash tariff schedules and aim at the trusts, you bring down at the same time every independent concern. In j other words, you produce general business ruin, and the trusts, being [ the stronger, would be the first to , pull out from under the wreck. That is not the' way to do it. Judge Gayner, of the Supreme Court of New York, apparently does not agree with the favorite • Democratic prescription for the cure of the evil. He says that 1 "freight favoritism is the mother of trusts. The first trust was built j up wholly by discrimination on the part of the railroads." lie refers to Standard Oil, and he has history to back his content ion. Listen to him: When the oil of the man or set of men, for instance, and speaking appoxi mately, was carried to the market by the railroads for one dollar a barrel when all competitors had to pay two dollars, the latter were ruined and had to quit. They could dig wells and re fine oil just as well as their rivals, but when such rivals got a reduction or re bate in freight rates which enabled them to ruinously undersell all others, that was the end of rivalry. He goes onto remark that it is said that rebates by railroads are no longer paid in cash, and then tells a story of the Boston and Albany line, which was once shown to have billed cars for a certain trust of having a capacity of twenty-four thousand pounds, whereas the capacity was fifty thousand. This story he tells as an instance of how discrimina tion may be managed. But what ia Judge Gaynor's remedy? He holds that the law is too slow; that the Interstate Com merce Commission is too unwieldy, and that complaints brought before it meet with all sorts of delays. So he would at one stroke settle the whole question. He would have the general freight agent of every railroad company appointed by the government. We can follow and agree with Judge Gaynor through his asser tion that freight discriminations were really the breeder of original trusts. There is no doubt of that. But it will be a little difficult for most thinking men to agree with him that the goverment has a right or should acquire the right to con trol the general freight agency. If the Judge would advocate the national acquirement of all public carriers, that would be quite legi timate, at least for nationalization is a standard topic of the day. But to depend upon a general agent appointed by the government for private corporations would be to confess that there is no law that amounts to anything, and that is the very last thing which a judge of high standing should do. lie knows better. And what would be gained by such an appointment, oven if it could be made? Who is going to guarantee the strict integrity of the agents? He is one individual —and he would be under very grave temptations if the road were inclined to be crooked—whereas there are several members of the Interstate Commerce Commission, with ample law back of them to make searches and lay bare any underhand work. After the Com mission, and supplementing its work, comes the Attorney General of the United States. The Judge complains of the slowness of the law, but lie should remember that it has only been re cently that the Supreme Court has interpreted existing law so that it can be brought to bear upon com binations organized to restrain trade. The way is now clear, and all that is necessary is the willing mind. He have had the Northern Securities case, and it may be an ticipated that all other corporations that are engaged in conspiracy will be brought to toe the mark. The law properly applied against discriminating railroads will be fat more potent for good than the ap pointment by the government of freight agents, for who is going to guarantee that every freight agent 1A Lau s hlin ,% i I M Fountain M r }| PI Pcn I i| 18 THE PEER OF ALL Blijg IJ □ PENS AND HAS NO '■£«; JW Jflj t equal anywhere. gj||| =j| [ f Hi FINEST GRADE I4K.
